Better suited in the Action Figure General Discussion. Moved.

As for me, I tend to go through phases regarding toy lines, but there's never really a break where I don't get anything. As others have said, there's always something to fill in the gaps and lulls. Unfortunately, it has led to buyer's regret from time to time (Bakugan, Green Lantern).

The only time I was ever truly had a complete burn-out was the gap between G2 and Beast Wars. Most of the toy lines I collected at the time were gone or had lost their minds (Eco-warrior Joes? Really?). Even with Beast Wars, my heart wasn't really in it any more.

Then Robots in Disguise came out and I was back in big time and have been ever since. I also really regret not giving Beast Wars a fair shake (the toys, anyway), which is why I am not as quick to criticize a toy line until I see it first-hand.
